Day 424

  • Poll released today from Japan has 60% of those polled wanting the Tokyo Olympics called off.
  • Apparent policies may make the Tokyo Olympic ceremonies interesting:  Athletes will all but certainly be there only for the duration of their events -- get there a few days before, leave as soon as they are done.
  • And my anonymous friend has figured you fuckers out again.  When discussing the 73,000 who saw the fight Saturday night in Dallas, my friend was very clear:  That had nothing to do with the boxing...  It was all an anti-mask, anti-social distancing event.  The world is watching, kiddos.   
  • Look for an NBA suspension of Luke Doncic of the Mavericks early this week.  Tossed for the second time in five games, one technical from triggering the Rasheed Wallace Rule.  Few days ago it was two technicals -- last night was a shot to the nuts.  Four games to go in the regular season.  NBA must either suspend him for them all or penalize the Mavericks more fully by tossing him for Game 1 and/or 2 of the playoffs.   
  • Juventus will be EXPELLED from Serie A if they don't drop the Super League boondoggle.
  • FP Santangelo has been accused of sexual misconduct.  Former Expo, former Giant, was broadcasting for the Nationals.  The Nationals have pulled their permission.
  • David Griffin has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for comments the EVP of basketball operations for the Pelicans made insinuating that the officiating has allowed players to repeatedly strike Zion Williamson's hands, leading to a thumb injury which now has Williamson out, and probably for the rest of the season.  The Pelicans, with four games left, are two games out of the play-in tournament in the West.
